Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for crust)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice-cold water
  • ½ cup (50g) almond flour, finely ground
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 cups (about 300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling on crust edges)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine sifted flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or pulse in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  2. Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough just comes together but is not sticky. Form dough into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Make the almond filling: Beat almond flour, softened butter, powdered sugar, and almond extract until smooth. Add the room-temperature egg and mix until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the strawberries: Hull and halve strawberries. Toss with sugar, lemon juice, and flour to coat evenly.
  5. Assemble the galette: Roll chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Spread almond filling evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange strawberries over the almond cream without overcrowding.
  7. Fold edges of dough over filling, pleating to create a rustic border. Brush crust with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle coarse sugar on edges.
  8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40 to 45 minutes until crust is golden and strawberries are bubbling. Cover edges with foil if browning too fast.
  9. Cool on baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep butter and water ice-cold for a flaky crust. Do not overwork dough to avoid toughness. Use almond flour (not almond meal) for smooth filling. Watch baking time closely and cover crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Let galette cool before slicing to allow filling to set. Egg wash is important for a golden crust. Lemon juice brightens strawberry flavor and helps thicken juices.
